I’m here to destigmatize the term Vibe Coding. What started as a dismissive label for AI coding assistants has become standard practice—and if you’re not learning to leverage AI, you risk becoming a coding dinosaur.
In this talk, we’ll vibe out together as I walk through my development workflow with Claude Code. You’ll learn how to install Claude, address security considerations, provide effective context, set up basic MCP servers, harness “Super Claude” commands, and more. I’ll also demo building a simple Laravel application from scratch, showing how to integrate Claude into both greenfield and existing projects. Along the way, we’ll cover the different Claude model versions, how to debug productively, streamline development workflows, use the Laravel Boost MCP, and tap into its memory system.
As a bonus, I’ll show you how to run free open-source local models with Ollama, where to discover promising new models, how to keep up with the fast-moving AI landscape, practical DevOps AI tools, and some hidden powers of Google Gemini.
By the end, you’ll be ready to throw on some sunglasses, crack open an energy drink, and fully embrace the vibe of modern AI-powered development.

Good fast-paced overview of the state of claude as of this week. :)
There was a lot of useful information here, and clearly a lot of time gone into producing all the screenshots & guides. I'd have really liked to see some of this live because so much about the vibe coding viewpoint seems to relate to how well it produces things and not seeing so much where it goes wrong means it's hard to see the overall workload.
I also think seeing Ollama directly and comparing with Claude would have been cool because not depending on big tech and expensive models seems like a good mindset for the future.
Thanks for the t-shirt!
Thank you for the talk. I'm just starting to dip my toes into Claude and this was very helpful
Fun talk covering the idea of vibe coding and showing how it can work. Would have liked if it expanded beyond just using Claude and covered more general "vibe coding" concepts.
